Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli

Apr 24, 2013

I’m on a Chinese food kick. Which should come as no surprise to you because I’m always either on a Chinese kick or a taco kick. But I’m deep in a Chinese obsession right now. We get takeout just about every weekend and I honestly think about Chinese food every day of the week. I don’t know what is wrong with me.

Luckily my husband is understanding and my kids love it as much as I do.

I’ve been using my slow cooker a lot recently because my oldest has soccer a couple nights a week and a lot of times, my husband isn’t home from work when we leave for the games. It’s nice to know that my husband has a hot meal waiting for him when he gets home and that the kids have one when we get back from soccer. I know a lot of people only use their slow cooker during the winter but I get so much use out of mine all year!

This dish was absolutely delicious. I really wish I had doubled the recipe because leftovers would have been even better!

I haven’t had Chinese takeout in months, and I have been craving it like crazy. Doughnuts randomly too, I think about them nonstop :) I use my slow cooker year round as well, and I definitely need to make this and satisfy the craving sooner rather than later!

This looks like a nice recipe overall, but frozen broccoli is disgusting. It is already mushy and cooking it makes it worse. Why not use fresh broccoli for the delicious tender crisp experience everyone loves in Chinese cooking?
